that we want the one system OF

thing guaranteed.

for anything, but less than
the usual price for many
things.
3-All the year round almost
everything mot tooth-brushes,
mattresses and a few like
things) subject to return
within ten days if in proper
order for refund of money.

stock of best makes of mer

To keep up the full operation
of our rules of exchange ane

desks.

ask customers to come at an,

fully serve them.
